...Elevated Fire Danger Today...



Near record warmth will lead to low relative humidity today, with

minimum values falling to 20-25% this afternoon. Meanwhile, winds

will become southwesterly and increase to around 15 MPH with 

gusts to near 25 MPH at times. Most surface fuels remain cured and

dry and any fires that start may spread quickly. Burning is 

discouraged today.
